Many think its a gamble and the end sum game is zero...but you can really study and earn yourself a good amount...best example is Warren Buffett..he did it by just investing in the stock market and making it big...so you have rightly said it is a game of probability and discipline... By the way were are you located...i mean were do you stock trading??

I think there is a element of chance in each. But gambling is meant to be less serious than stock trading in my view they are both the same in principle.
